It's a slower track. I really don't get it everyone runs slower times there than the other closest track Lapeer. I ran a 15.8 at 91mph. That was a solid trap for my car at the time.

You should win, even if you screw up royally.
Foci are slow. UDP, header, and a chip means just about nothing other than alot more noise and about another 6hp over stock.
I've been driving mine for 3 years, moved into it from a regular old 1996 MTX duratec GL. That Contour spanks my Focus handily so your's should do even better.

Agreed. There's no reason why you shouldn't be able to beat him - and by a lot, at that. The FSVT has 15% less horsepower than the CSVT, 170 vs. 200. However, it's at most, what, 10% lighter? Bottom line, the CSVT is a quicker car.
By the way, I do believe 10.4 sounds about right for the 1/8th mile for a completely stock CSVT.

The Kona focus is not an SVT, and does not have 170hp.
